Abstract

This research had the main objective to investigate what kinds of design students in a graduate program in the theory and practice of teaching math revealed about the implementation of Federal Law 10.639 / 03 (Law amending the Law in 9394, of December 20, 1996, which establishes the guidelines and bases of national education, to include in the official curriculum of the education Network mandating the theme "History and Afro-Brazilian Culture", and other measures), with the methodological supports the Program Ethnomatematics and Afrocentric perspective. It is noteworthy that the respective Program Postgraduate located in the neighborhood of Campo Grande, West Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The strategies were implemented motivational workshops with African games (Tarumbeta and Ouri) that have been developed together to the Theory of discipline and Mathematics Teaching Practice in four times (four Saturdays) with total workload of 16 hours. The activities proposed for the workshops had as a starting point the African places and african-Brazilian, as proposed in afrocentrados foundations, moreover, seek to point out and discuss, from these places, some civilizing values african-Brazilians, fundamental to what we consider needed for the fight against anti- black racism and epistemic violence. Also, we investigated whether their students could articulate some kind of content on the minimum math curriculum with some of the proposed games. It is worth noting the great importance of Ethnomatematics Program as anti-racist pedagogy, their appreciation and respect for cultural characteristics of different people both in Africa and in the diaspora.
